“ Riveting Storytelling for All of America.” aka “Democracy dies when billionaires allow authoritarian governments to use media as a propaganda machine.” #RIPWaPo
Half the people I know have worked for WaPo at one point. Some still do. We've subscribed for decades.
This is most dramatic—and unnecessary—collapse of a vital institution I can recall. Short-term responsibility seems to lie w/ Will Lewis. Long-term it's all Bezos.

Agreed, @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social. Sheldon Whitehouse is right to call #RIPWaPo.

The takeaway here is that the @washingtonpost.com is telling us their goal is to bring back “riveting storytelling”. That’s code for we’re not anchored in fact checking/research. They’re just going to tell stories. This is why Editorial staff is leaving. They know.
It’s all bullshit.

Being an asshole is imperative to becoming a Billionaire in the first place.

I gave them a 2nd chance after canceling in November, for the sake of the reporters who are doing good work. But this is too much. #RIPwaPo
